HOW CAN I NOT LOVE YOU
Chapter 30 - Following Ricky

Fatma's mother snorted quite tight in Anindita's ear as Mama Arya listened to the problems faced by her former daughter-in-law. Even Mama Arya shook her head as if she could not believe Anindita still imagined Arya until she misnamed her own husband.

" Candle, Anin ... Mama asked you, actually you love Nak Ricky or not, Nin? You've been married for almost two years. Son Ricky is so kind, attention to you, to Arka even to Mama. Do you think Ricky's your husband is just a status thing?" From her tone of speech, Mama Arya sounded disappointed with Anindita's attitude. Even Mother Fatma who incidentally is Aryan's parents just feel disappointed Anindita as if she could not also mengikhlaskan Arya's departure.

" No, Ma. I don't think so!" refute Anindita quickly. " Today it was just me. Just arguing with Mas Ricky. I'm pissed off about Ricky. And suddenly I remembered Mas Arya. Mas Arya always understood me, Ma." Anindita is defending herself.

" Collecting Arya? Do you miss Arya too? Anin, Arya it's gone. Your marriage relationship with Arya was cut off when Arya's body was buried. Now you're Ricky's wife. It's only natural that your husband is angry and disappointed with you, Anin." Mama Arya expressed her disappointment towards Anindita.

Anindita fell silent, she could not resist what the grandmother of Arka said.

" Or, what is the existence of Mama here that can't make you forget Arya? If that's the case, let Mama go back to the nursing home, Anin. Mama doesn't want to ruin your household with Ricky's son." Mama Arya until thought if Anindita felt bad for her so she could not forget Arya.

Anindita gasped at Mama Arya's words, she didn't think at all about what her former mother-in-law thought.

" Mommy, why talk like that? Anin never felt if Mama was the one who made Anin can not forget Mas Arya." Anindita sobbed and hugged Mama Arya's body. " Anin would feel guilty if Anin let Mama back in the house, Ma." Anindita kept crying. She certainly did not want to see her ex-husband's parents entrusted in a place that Arya did not like. Because when Arya was still alive, Arya also felt sadness when she found out that her high school teacher was now one of the residents of Panti Wreda.

" Mommy, where are you going?" When Anindita opened the apartment door, Tita who had just come out of the room Ramadan and Arka rebuked Anindita. Because his employer was wearing a sweater that wrapped his body.

" I want to go to Mas Ricky's office, Ma'am." said Anindita.

" Well, why is Mr Ricky? How come you're going to his office, Dad?" Tita looked towards the wall clock in the living room.

" It's nine o'clock more, ma'am." he continued later.

" It's okay, Ma'am. I will be escorted with Syaeful sir," said Anindita reassured Tita if she will be fine. " Titip kids first yes, Ma'am." he continued later.

" Don't you call Mr Ricky first?" tanya Tita was worried.

" The number can't be reached, ma'am. It's okay, Ma'am. I go first yes! Ariston ..." Anindita says goodbye to Tita.

" Waalaikumsalam, be careful, ma'am." Tita replied later before Anindita came out of her apartment.

" Sir, please take me to his office, yes! I don't feel good if I have to go in there instead of working hours." While on his way to the office of Angkasa Raya, Anindita requested that Mr. Syaeful accompany him to enter the office Ricky.

" Okay, ma'am." said Mr. Syaeful. " Hmmm, didn't you try to contact me first?" ask Syaeful then.

" I don't want my husband to know I'm coming there, sir." Although it will be seen as strange by people because they come to the office of her husband at work at night. However, Anindita was desperate to come there.

Less than fifteen minutes later the car driven by Syaeful has arrived at the office of Angkasa Raya because the road is rather empty. And as Anindita requested, Syaeful escorted the wife of her boss to the floor of the office of Angkasa Raya.

" Syeful sir, just go home, don't wait! I'll come with my husband back." When he saw the lights in the workspace lit up, Anindita told his personal driver to go home first.

" good, Mom. I'm sorry then." Syaeful said goodbye and then went back down using the elevator.

Anindita turned to the husband's bedroom whose lights seemed to light up, in contrast to the room opposite her, the work space of the boss of Angkasa Raya whose lights looked dim, indicates there was no Dirga workspace at that time.

" May ..." Anindita called her husband whom she saw being serious with a laptop in front of her.

Ricky turned his face toward the door when he heard a familiar voice.

" Anin?" Ricky is shocked to find Anindita in his study. The man even immediately got up and approached Anindita.

" May ..." Anindita ran and hugged Ricky and sobbed in her husband's arms.

" What are you here for? Who are you here with?" ricky asked who was still confused by Anindita's arrival in his office.

" I'm sorry, Mas. Hicks ..." Anindita was unable to say anything, only able to continue sobbing because of her guilt.

" Hey, why are you crying, Anin? What's up?" Ricky then brought Anindita to sit on the sofa and calm Anindita who was still crying.

" May be angry with me. I'm not going home, I'm avoiding me, I'm silencing me." After being quite calm, Anindita said what made her heart unsettled.

" I have work to finish tonight. And this job I can't take home, so I'm doing it here." Ricky explained why he did not come home quickly. And he did not expect it to make his wife come to his office night after night, even though he had already informed before if he would be overtime.

" Are you not avoiding me?" With her eyes closed, Anindita looked at her husband.

Ricky stroked his head and wiped away the tears that flooded his wife's cheeks. He then shook his head while giving a kiss on Anindita's lips.

" Who are you here with?" tanyanya after giving a kiss on Anindita's lips.

" I was here with Mr. Shaeful, Mas. But I told you to go home. I want to accompany Mas Ricky here," said Anindita who intends to accompany Ricky to finish his work.

" But my work isn't done, Anin."

" Let me wait here. Just continue with the job." Wiping away her tears, Anindita sent Ricky back to work.

" Oh yeah, you sleep on the couch. I'll finish my job as soon as possible." After arranging a sofa cushion for his wife, Ricky finally returned to his desk to finish his job.
